Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ⁇ -glucans detection reagents which are used as diagnostic agents for nosomycosis in the pharmaceutical field and to methods of detecting ⁇ -glucans using the reagents.
  • ⁇ -glucans coagulate hemocyte lysate of horseshoe crabs, the finding that can be utilized to quantitatively determine levels of ⁇ -glucans in blood.
  • endotoxins also coagulate the hemocyte lysate of the horseshoe crabs. This is because the hemocyte lysate of the horseshoe crabs contain both an activator of the precursor of a ⁇ -glucan coagulatory enzyme and an activator of the precursor of an endotoxin coagulatory enzyme.
  • the present inventors have successfully made reagents that specifically reacts with ⁇ -glucans alone by removing or inactivating an activator of the precursor of an endotoxin coagulatory enzyme in the hemocyte lysate of a horseshoe crab, and filed this invention (Japanese Patent Application KOKAI Nos. 138193/1990, 207098/1990).
  • the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application KOKAI No. 138193/1990 relates to the hemocyte lysate specific to ⁇ -glucans obtained by fractionating the hemocyte lysate by ion exchange chromatography using sulfopropyl as an adsorbent.
  • the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application KOKAI No. 207098/1990 relates to the hemocyte lysate specific to ⁇ -glucans which comprises an endotoxin neutralizing peptide plus a limulus reagent used in the typical gelation procedure.
  • the present invention relates to the hemocyte lysate specific to ⁇ -glucans obtained by extracting the hemocytes of American horseshoe crabs with 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer/pH 8.0 containing 12 mM MgCl2 and adding polyphemusin to the hemocyte lysate.
  • the polyphemusin is obtained by extracting the precipitate of the hemocyte lysate with 20 mM HCl and purifying the resultant extract by reverse phase HPLC.
  • the hemocyte lysate specific to ⁇ -glucans can detect as little as 0.1 ng/ml of carboxymethyl curdlan but does not react with as little as 100 ng/ml of the Nippon Pharmacopoeia standard endotoxin.
  • the method of the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application KOKAI No. 138193 is required to perform chromatography on endotoxin-free samples, which makes reagent preparing procedures complicated.
  • the method of preparing reagents disclosed in Japanese Patent Application KOKAI No. 138193/1990 is easy, a limulus reagent itself used in the gelation procedure is not suitable for quantitative analysis and its sensitivity is as low as 0.1ng/ml.
  • the present inventors have studied a reagent to detect ⁇ -glucans, a reagent which is easily prepared and very sensitive, and found an easy method of preparing a ⁇ -glucans detection reagent by combining typical endotoxin detection reagents with endotoxin neutralizing peptides derived from horseshoe crab hemocytes and chromogenic substrates.
  • the present invention relates to a ⁇ -glucan detection reagent which comprises horseshoe crab hemocyte lysates containing endotoxin neutralizing peptides derived from horseshoe crab hemocytes and chromogenic substrates.
  • the present invention also relates to a method of detecting ⁇ -glucans using the ⁇ -glucan detection reagent described above.
  • the ⁇ -glucan detection reagent of the invention is easily prepared, very sensitive, and useful for medical fields as a diagnostic agent for fungus diseases.
  • Fig. 1 shows sensitivity of the ⁇ -glucans detection reagent of the invention to endotoxin.
  • Fig. 2 shows sensitivity of the ⁇ -glucans detection reagent of the invention to ⁇ -glucans.
  • Suitable horseshoe crabs for the horseshoe crab lysate of the invention include Tachypleus tridentatus, Tachypleus gigas , Limulus polyphemus and the like.
  • the invention utilizes any endotoxin neutralizing peptides derived from horseshoe crabs, such as Tachyplesin-I, Tachyplesin-II, Tachyplesin-III, Polyphemusin-I, or Polyphemusin-II.
  • endotoxin neutralizing peptides derived from horseshoe crabs

  • Tachyplesin-II derived from horseshoe crabs
  • Tachyplesin-II derived from horseshoe crabs
  • Tachyplesin-II derived from horseshoe crabs
  • Tachyplesin-II derived from horseshoe crabs
  • Tris-HCl buffer containing sodium chloride and benzamidine hydrochloride is added to the hemocyte of the North American horseshoe crab ( Limulus polyphemus ). The hemocyte is disrupted and then centrifuged. An HCl solution is added to the precipitate, which is disrupted and centrifuged. The supernatant is loaded onto a Sephadex G-50 column, to which an HCl solution is then added. Fractions at absorbance 280 nm are collected and loaded onto a Cosmosil 5C18 column. A trifluoroacetic acid solution in which the concentration of acetonitril is altered is then added to the column to give polyphemusin I.
  • Polyphemusin II is also obtained from the North American horseshoe crab by a similar manner as described in Polyphemusin I. Polyphemusin II is separated by the difference in elution time.
  • Asian horseshoe crabs Tachypleus tridentatus , Tachypleus gigas
  • polyphemusin I and II the insoluble fractions of Asian horseshoe crab extracts are extracted with an HCl solution and the extract is purified by a Sephadex G-50 column and reverse phase HPLC.
  • Tachyplesin-III is obtained from the Malaysian horseshoe crab ( Tachypleus gigas ) by a similar manner as described in polyphemusin I.
  • these peptides can be obtained by a solid-phase procedure.
  • an ⁇ -amino group of any amino acids should be protected by a tert-butyloxycarbonyl group (Boc group), and a group attached to an amino acid is preferably protected by converting the amino acid as follows: Arginine is converted to tosylarginine to protect the guanidino group; Lysine is converted to 2-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyllysine to protect the ⁇ -amino group; Cysteine is converted to 4-methylbenzylcysteine to protect the thiol group; Tyrosine is converted to benzyltyrosine to protect the hydroxyl group; and Tryptophan is converted to formyltryptophan to protect the indole ring.
  • Boc group tert-butyloxycarbonyl group
  • Protected form Arginine (Arginine derivative), a C-terminal amino acid, is introduced into a phenylacetamidomethyl resin and a polypeptide chain is extended one by one to give rise a protected peptide resin.
  • the protected peptide resin thus synthesized is treated with hydrogen fluoride to separate the protected peptide from the resin.
  • the protected peptide is deprotected, and reduced to give a synthetic peptide by the method known in the art.

  • An amount of endotoxins neutralizing peptides in the ⁇ -glucans detection reagent of the present invention is preferably 0.5 - 2 mg per a 20-tests vial.
  • Concentration of ⁇ -glucans in samples can be determined as follows.
  • a chromogenic substrate for example, Boc-Leu-Gly-Arg-pNa, is used, and the ⁇ -glucans detection reagent is added to a sample.
